Guidelines for safe and efficient use
However, certain electronic equipment may not
be shielded against the RF signals from your
wireless phone.
Pacemaker
The Medical Industry Manufacturers Association
recommends a minimum distance of fifteen
(15) centimeters, or six (6) inches, between a
handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker, in
order to avoid potential interference between
them.
These pieces of advice are consistent
with independent researches, and with
recommendations based on wireless
technology research.
People with pacemakers should:
30
• ALWAYS keep the phone at least fifteen
centimeters (six inches) from their pacemaker,
whenever the phone is turned on;
• Not carry the phone in a shirt pocket;
• Use the ear opposite to the pacemaker, to
minimize the potential interference;
• If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, switch off your
phone immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere
with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, we recommend that you contact
your service provider.
